@Fatnose-agamaggan

Oh yeah you learn demo lock in 50 games the first time you ever play it huh?

Its not that hard

@Fatnose-agamaggan

When it took you 400 games played to get 1800 as warrior?

Are you smocking something? it only got me 65 games to get 1800 in shuffle on my war, dunno how many rounds. Even if you count all games from blitz and 3x is only 249

@Fatnose-agamaggan

It’s funny you don’t even know how to check peoples profile you are looking at the armory.

I mean, if you are looking somewhere else to see 400 games, thats neat, maybe you are counting unranked games as well?

@Fatnose-agamaggan

12 years of playing but only active this season and the last time you played was bfa s2 but it’s your only account huh.

Yeah, usually i don’t own the current expansion, so i just chill doing old content, someone in the forum gifted me TWW and im putting to use

And i did stop after BFA, i think i only did a bit of the start in shadowlands, and only came back at the end of DF.

@Fatnose-agamaggan

Imagine mouthing off as this kid

Literally what you did mate LMAO

You got triggered by a gag, and went to snuff my profile to make a pp measure contest,

@Fatnose-agamaggan

You 100% got banned for talking trash to healers in shuffle.

Nah, but i bet some wow token that you already got.

In fact, i dont think i ever trashtalk a healer in any shuffle or blittz…did trashtalk some rogues and hunters though

[Lexa-korgath]

I guess I can count myself pretty lucky, I only ever need to find dps so it doesn’t take long to fill groups, but my PvP friends do complain about SS queues a lot. I have wanted to try SS out as a healer but I haven’t touched it since it was first released and the PvP community tends to be a bit cranky

[Fatnose-agamaggan]

You know I can see everything right?

Solo shuffle Fury

1834

Wins :	182
Losses :	174
Total :	356
Wins :	51%

Blitz Fury

1457

Wins :	67
Losses :	88
Total :	155
Wins :	43%

100% of the time when someone replies in these quote blocks they are not worth reading or replying to. Imagine lying. Better google how to hide your profile for next time you get in a losing argument.

[Yukongold-moon-guard]

This is pure entertainment lol

[Marsage-bleeding-hollow (Marsage)]

Lol a well-played healer in PvP does more than any well-played DPS, just sayin’.

[Berrd-azgalor]

I’m not a pvp guy but I healed SS in S3 for the elite set. The experience remains the most frantic and overwhelming I’ve had in this game.

Thankless, too. I’d get “advice” but it was almost all obvious venting jabs from people so angry they can’t even think coherently. One time I had a guy insult me for not using Void Shift to save him last round. He wasn’t on my team last round.

Is SS any better now? I’m guessing no.

@Fatnose-agamaggan

Healing being awful will be and is the death of wow in all modes.

I dont heal much anymore, but something seems to have changed.
Ive seen more healers bail in dungeons in the last 60 days then the entire 7 years prior that Ive been playing WoW.

[Kennie-malganis]

It’s fun with friends/regulars.

[Sendryn-sentinels]

@Fatnose-agamaggan

timewalking/random dung/m+ = dead b/c nobody wants to heal que times are awful

I run as a healer and dps in Timewalking. I haven’t had an issue with dps queues and no problems healing.

@Fatnose-agamaggan

more responsibility with literally less rewards

Eh? I get the same chance at rewards as everyone else.

@Fatnose-agamaggan

Above all it’s just not even remotely fun. Healing being awful will be and is the death of wow in all modes.

20 year old game that has always had healing is somehow killing WoW. Sure thing.

Also: I love healing.

[Fauxstrasza-stormrage]

@Fatnose-agamaggan

pvp = dead b/c nobody wants to heal que times 30+ minutes solo q / 99% dps players in lfg

PVP in this game is a joke. Better off playing League of Legends. Blitz might be okay, (haven’t tried.)

[Eviaeline-area-52]

Healing sux because they are dependant on dps knowing how to play their class/spec. Which in pugs are very often not the case. So you end up with people you don’t know, won’t communicate, and can’t play. That’s a lose-lose-lose situation for healers.

Healing sort of can’t work in a PUG world unless they are overpowered.

[Platinumtwo-benediction]

@Eviaeline-area-52

Healing sux because they are dependant on dps knowing how to play their class/spec

this is the main thing people should take away from why healing feels so bad. in the current wow meta its all about pugging, yet the healers unable to carry groups anymore because healing is now super reliant on dps to use self mitigation and defensives and actually do their role otherwise healers cant and wont save anyone. recipe for disaster

[Lights-proudmoore]

I could have 500k heals, be out-damaging half the dps and somehow i’ll still get blamed (in chat) for the loss.

I’ll do better

[Cowlorado-thrall]

As a main healer I can tell you the downsides of healing and maybe, why your friends (and mine too) quits after a month:

• Default interface sucks: as healer or dispelling, it’s the worst it can be.
• Knowledge of the fight: you need to preventive drop CD’s or AoE defensives, means you need to know what is gonna happen, new-player unfriendly design.
• Healers are in charge of everything: dispelling, CC, healing (of course), but DPS’ing too, all the affixes + healer specific ones, dungeon mechanics (Mist of Tirna Scithe maze for example), mana managing (exclusive to the role, not like old days where all roles needs to manage resources, healers are the only one with limited resources), drinking between pulls (can be stressing as **** if you have a bad tank), range (melee range or Evoker range is a big issue), utility, APM, interrupting…
• DPS not using their abilities: defensives and interrupts. Nothing more to explain.

So your responsibilities are above the roof but the reward is so low ( a chance to get a gear) compared to other roles (that just tunnel most of the time) that it’s feel unfair.
And the community culture to blame everything to the healer and not looking their own feet it’s making it worst.

It’s not the best role but at least and to this moment, I don’t need to do the same rotation for 30 minutes straight (until, of course, the Dev’s think again the only way to get fun in this game is to do DPS and force us to DPS again ).

Anyway, blame the healer if you lose, praise yourself if you win and get fun.

[Selura-area-52]

I’ve main healed in games for 21+ years. When I came back to World of Warcraft at start of Shadowlands, I tried healing, but toxic groups cured me of that. Don’t get me wrong, I do still enjoy healing, as an alternate instead of main specialization.

• 8 Main Spec Healers, 1 Off-spec Healer (main)
• 9 Main Spec Tanks, 3 Off-spec Tanks
• 20 Main Spec DPS, 4 Off-spec Heal/Tank

Restoration Shaman are the majority of my healers while Protection Paladin are the majority of my tanks. That said, Protection Warrior is my favorite of the tanks and my # 2 character I play after my main. I currently play the following characters weekly.

• Affliction Warlock
• Beaster Master Hunter
• Blood Death Knight
• Enhancement Shaman (main)
• Frost Mage
• Outlaw Rogue
• Protection Warrior

Finally, I level 1-2 characters to 80 of my 37 characters. Currently 19 level 80 characters, 11 Alliance, 8 Horde. The next 18 are all Horde, it’s an OCD thing. Alliance are at the bottom of my player list and all characters are in alphabetical order.

[Thundahstahm-stormrage]

At this point, the community is so toxic and impersonable that they should just have Bots heal and tank.

People who do want live humans tanking/healing should get better gear. But just clear out the dps queues. Most of these “people” just want to look at meters anyway.

M+ is a joke. And the players made it that way.

[Primalmatter-stormrage (Primalmatter)]

Healing is likely to forgiving in pvp… not a popular take but a healer shouldn’t be able to shake off 3+ dps opening up on it until dampening ramps.

It has its challenges. That said pound for pound at the high end. You can misplay a lot more on a healer then a dps.
